jumpingfrogofcalaveras‘A SONG OF THE JUMPING FROG OF CALAVERAS’ was written in 1929, and a froggy Flickr friend, froggyboggler found the sheet music to this ditty at an antique store in Calaveras County (which aparently is the home of Frogtown, but we’ll have more on that later). If we played this in the backyard, do you think our frogboys would perk up?
